How do you find ghost roles on lava land? Just exploring and clicking?

Borg wires are consistent within a round but not round to round.

Things you can click to become a ghost on lavaland appear in the Orbit list.

Also how the fuck do you mean rotation, as soon as I mix neurotoxin/mindbreak with teslium it tesla shocks.

it's much more efficient to just throw the battery the fuck away (if you're up against a rogue AI and/or want to limit their jump options)

but uh if you're gonna do general sabotage I would advise not to put it in yourself


Actually that's a really fucking slick thing to do, take out the battery and just drop it in front of the APC and wait for someone to put it back in

If a power cell is damaged from a explosion there should be a visual tell that its damage and a way to repair it.

I don't mind plasma sabotage, but dying because you did not know of a obscure feature with no warning is shitty.

Besides the point that its a trap, applied onto the plasma batteries and anything else it touches.

I don't remember if there is anything you can examine on a battery to find out either. Players don't tend to examine things anyway. But besides that, yeah I feel you but that's pretty much the game entirely and the response is always GITGUD no matter how frustrating and one off the adversity was. Technically clone damage falls under this but it's only because it has frequent exposure or at least a practiced solution (cryo) that it isn't a real problem. The battery thing just never comes up (and we don't even know if you died because of it or malicious intent) and that either makes it an interesting feature or a frustration causing crap one.

How exactly do you do special moves with martial arts? Do you just have to switch between intents or do you have to also use them on something or someone?

use each intent in order on your victim.
For example, if you have plasma fist:
HARM, DISARM, DISARM, DISARM, HARM on the same person will gib them instantly.

It's not related to electrodes, it's all click-related actions. The default game FPS is 20 and input (afaik) is tied to client side FPS. This would mean that holding down a movement key is 'using frames' and blocking the click action so you are only firing when your click is timed on a frame that isn't being 'used'.

tl;dr it's because of the game's low framerate. If you go into game preferences and increase the framerate to like 40, 60 or 100 it will register your clicks much better. The trade off is that higher FPS's are kinda janky.
